What happens in the dark will always be exposed in the light. At times I wonder if this age old saying from the bible still holds true. I've witnessed disheartening things that were committed under the blanket of darkness. Until this day they remain hidden. Everything has a time and a place. I understand that so perhaps I'm a bit hasty.
Besides my personal experiences the world we live in has become a dark one. The light has left this world and we are living under the cloak of darkness. If we are living in the dark, how would the light find its way?
When did it become a norm for multitudes to die each and every year? When did it become normal for men to kill their women over senseless and petty issues? When did it become acceptable to rob people of their freedom, their money, their identities, their ways of life, their history and heritage,their lives?
When did it become acceptable for old men to sexually exploit young girls in promises of providing a better life for them? When did a female saying no become try harder and take want you want? Why is acceptable to rape children when when they are supposed to be protected and loved?
It sickens me to the core seeing all these evils being committed and nothing being done to stop them. What drains my soul is the fact that I see them happening but there is nothing I can do stop them. This is probably what we all tell ourselves as we turn a blind eye to everything. That is wrong. It takes only one person to make a change and to make a difference. Why can't it be me or you? I have no idea where to start but starting with helping one person is a good start.
What happens in the dark is always exposed in the light... The light needs help.
This world is too dark. The light can't cope on its own. We've neglected our responsibilities to our follow man for too long. Can we do something to help someone for a change?
